Now, many of the people who participate in Earth Witness would focus on ecological problems, human-caused or otherwise, especially environmental crimes and significant sources of
greenhouse
gases and emissions.
Climate change is happening, the earth's atmosphere is warming, because of the increasing amount of
greenhouse
gases we keep releasing into the atmosphere.
See, decomposition releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, as well as other
greenhouse
gases such as methane and nitrous oxide, but it also releases all the nutrients we all need to survive.
And carbon that's not degrading fast is carbon that's not going back into the atmosphere as
greenhouse
gases.
And when permafrost thaws and drains, it makes it possible for microbes to come in and rather quickly decompose all this carbon, with the potential to release hundreds of billions of metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere in the form of
greenhouse
gases.
And this release of additional
greenhouse
gases into the atmosphere will only contribute to further warming that makes this predicament even worse, as it starts a self-reinforcing positive feedback loop that could go on and on and on, dramatically changing our climate future.
And for that, these two countries, these two powerful giants, must reduce their own
greenhouse
gases, control their pollution, and lead the fight.
When you open this for growing oil palms you're creating CO2 volcanoes that are emitting so much CO2 that my country is now the third largest emitter of
greenhouse
gasses in the world, after China and the United States.
You know, when you offset something, you say, "I'll permit myself to put some
greenhouse
gas into the atmosphere, but then I'll offset it by drawing it down."
Now, what the scientists are telling us we need to do over the next 80-odd years to the end of this century, is to cut our
greenhouse
gas emissions by three percent every year, and draw three gigatons of CO2 out of the atmosphere every year.
You can see our trajectory there in terms of warming and
greenhouse
gas concentrations.
So how might we go about drawing down
greenhouse
gases at a large scale?
You know, if we could cover nine percent of the world's ocean in seaweed farms, we could draw down the equivalent of all of the
greenhouse
gases we put up in any one year, more than 50 gigatons.
But half of the
greenhouse
gases that we've put into the atmosphere, we've put there in the last 30 years.
Seventy-five percent of
greenhouse
gases in New York City come from a building like this one, burning oil for heat.
I'm here to talk about a related aspect, on how our emissions of
greenhouse
gases from burning of fossil fuels is reducing the nutritional quality of our food.
They also modeled what would be the most effective interventions, and their conclusion was reducing our
greenhouse
gases: getting our
greenhouse
gas emissions down by mid-century so we don't have to worry so much about these consequences later in the century.
We also individually and collectively need to reduce our
greenhouse
gas emissions to reduce the challenges that will come later in the century.
Enzymes may also offer some help in capturing
greenhouse
gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.
It's a parameter that says how much warmer does it get if you emit a certain amount of
greenhouse
gases.
But, suppose that it had been the case that with the amount of
greenhouse
gases we emitted, instead of the temperature rising by, say, between three and 4.5 degrees by 2100, suppose it had been 15 degrees or 20 degrees.
Net
greenhouse
gas emissions down 82 percent in absolute tonnage.
So an 82 percent absolute reduction translates into a 90 percent reduction in
greenhouse
gas intensity relative to sales.
In fact, oceans absorb about 90 percent of the heat that's generated by
greenhouse
gas emissions and about 40 percent of the carbon dioxide.
We stopped tilling, so that we could prevent
greenhouse
gasses from going into the air.
And we are putting out less
greenhouse
gasses than any other state.
It's a greenhouse, where kids get told all about food and growing their own food.
So today, we pump millions of tons of
greenhouse
gases into the air, we dump plastics, fertilizers and industrial waste into the rivers and oceans, and we cut down forests that absorb CO2.
Food production is currently responsible for one quarter of
greenhouse
gas emissions.
H is for habitat destruction, including climate change forced by
greenhouse
gases.
